Is it just GET parameters that are forbidden? Can you get away with using path segments?
can you use /foo/cats/paged/3 and still fit this "rule"?

Also, hiding things in the session will get you silly results (and not the good kind of silly) and a confused user when the session expires while the user is not looking.

	user clicks "next page"
	user meets login page
	all state is lost when new session is created
	user comes looking for a spine to put an axe in
